High-Level Project Summary
Climate Change Awareness and Concern in 119 Countries The team then investigated what factors best predict risk perception. They found that people in Latin America and Europe tend to perceive climate change as a greater threat when they understand that humans are the major cause. But in many African and Asian countries, risk perception is most strongly associated with a more tangible factor: changes in local temperatures. However, again there are important differences between countries. For example, in the U.S., Americans are more likely to perceive climate change as a personal threat.

Detailed Project Description
- Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. These shifts may be natural, such as through variations in the solar cycle. But since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to burning fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas.
- Concentration of greenhouse gases – This is the primary cause as the increase of greenhouse gases like Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), Methane (CH4), Nitrous oxide (N2O), Carbon dioxide (CO2), and Ozone (O3) in the atmosphere degrade the quality of the air we breathe.
- Deforestation – Human beings are destroying the forests and green areas for the purpose of urbanization and construction of human habitats, this has resulted in the loss of habitat for various animal species. Also, cutting down of trees results in increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
- Excessive Use of Fossil Fuels – This is another cause for the change in climate as the energy released by the usage of fossil fuels into the atmosphere, degrades its quality.

NASA REPORT ON GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE AND COLLABORATION WITH ISRO DATA REALISE ME HOW CRITICAL IT
BECOME .
Hackathon Journey
WE HAVE DEVELOPED THE WEBSITE TO AWARE THE PEOPLE ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE IT LEARNS US VERY MUCH ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE AND ABOUT ITS INFORMATION.
